त्रिजटास्वप्नवर्णनम् (Trijata’s Dream-Omens and the Rakshasis’ Reversal)
अपगच्छत नश्यध्वं सीतामाप्नोति राघवः।।5.27.39।।घातयेत्परमामर्षी युष्मान्सार्थं हि राक्षसैः।
pītvā tailaṃ pranṛttāś ca prahasantyo mahāsvanāḥ ||5.27.37||
laṅkāyāṃ bhasmarūkṣāyāṃ sarvā rākṣasastriyaḥ |
In Laṅkā, now dry and ashen, all the rākṣasa-women, having drunk oil, were dancing, laughing, and shouting loudly.
"(Therefore) go away from here. You will be totally destroyed by Rama who will secure his wife and will kill all of you along with others in great anger.
When adharma dominates, behavior becomes grotesquely inverted—celebration amid ruin signals loss of moral compass; dharma calls for sobriety and repentance.
In Trijaṭā’s dream, Laṅkā appears devastated, and the rākṣasa-women behave wildly—an ominous warning to stop tormenting Sītā.
Discernment (viveka) by contrast—Trijaṭā interprets chaotic signs as a call to change course.
